MAINTENANCE COST MORE TITE SUNDAY OREGONTAN. PORTXAtfD, NOVEMBER 29, K Economical Building Programme Is Outlined Improvements at Van couver Schools for Defec tives Are Planned. OLYMPIA, Wash.. Nov. 28. (Spe cial.) The Washington Board of Con trol announced today Its budget for the 12 state institutions and other re quirements for the coming biennium. A total of $3,989,199 is requested from the Legislature Xor all purposes. Ap propriations for the same purposes made by the last legislature were $4,063,630. ' An increased amount is asked for maintenance of the state institutions. On the basis of an estimated popula tion of 6740 inmates of all institutions during the next biennium $2,409,385 Is requested, compared with $2,124,535 appropriated by the last Legislature. The number1 of state wards is increas ing at the rate of about -15 per cent a year. An economical building programme base been outlined, however, and aside from maintenance only $1,399,814 Is requested for the Institutions, as com pared with $1,759,825 appropriated, by the last Legislature for these purposes. Funds for Schools Asked. The state schools for the blind and for the deaf at Vancouver, Wash., are among those for which new buildings are planned by the Board of Control. At the school for the blind $60,000 is requested for a fireproof school build ing to replace the present frame struc ture, and at the school for the deaf $40,000 Is asked for a similar purpose. At the state's latest Institution, the State School for Girls at Grand Mound.' Thurston County, with the buildings not yet occupied, their capacity is less than the number of girls awaiting ad mission. The Board accordingly asks $100,000 for a new ward building and an administration and chapel building. One of the most interesting pro posals of the Board of Control's build ing programme is the plan to establish the institution for feeble-minded on a new site, a mile and one-half from the present location at Medical Lake. On the new site buildings have recently been constructed for male Inmates. It is proposed to build sufficient addi tional buildings to house the entire in stitution and to turn over the pres ent buildings at Medical Lake to the Eastern Hospital for Insane, which Is outgrowing its present buildings. Nearly $300,000 Is therefore requested for new buildings and equipment for the Institution for feeble-minded. Asylum May Be Enlarged. The only other Institutions for which new building programmes on a large scale are outlined are the North ern Hospital for Insane at Sedro Woolley and the Monroe Reformatory. ,v Plans are to enlarge tlje Northern Hos pital and make it a receiving institu tion with a capacity for 750 or 800 In mates, transferring to this institution the surplus population at the Western Hospital for Insane, where there are now more than 1400 inmates, more than can be bandied conveniently in a single Institution. At the reformatory the plan is to continue the construction of permanent buildings by inmate labor and about $120,000 is asked for mate rials for this purpose. At the State Training School at Che halls $20,000 Is requested for a gym nasium building and equipment.

Fifth and Stark 1M Fifth and Stark SOCIALIST VOTE CUT Falling Off in Idaho Makes Organization No Party. TOTAL BALLOTS INCREASE Governor Haines Receives 5291 More Than in 1912, but Is De feated Decrease in Progree- elves Strength Is Shown. BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 28. (Special.) The Socialist party of Idaho has ac complished what the advocates for re peal of the primary law are urging, for It is evident from the canvass of the vote at the last general election that the Socialist candidates did not receive at least 10 per cent of the total vote cast for all candidates for the same office within the state, and the party, therefore, must go back to the old con vention system of nominating its can didates. A. L. Coblentz, Socialist can didate for Governor, wbo led the ticket at the last election, received 7967 votes. The number cast was 107,913. Ten per cent would have been 10,791. It is not at all probable that the Socialists will worry about going back to the convention. All their candidates are passed upon by referendum vote of the locals before the ticket is placed In nomination, it is said. Names Are Written In. Because there was no competition for nominations during the last primary election, and to save filing fees, the Socialists wrote in the names of all but one of their selected candidates from United States Senator down. The only exception was Mr. Coblentz, who was nominated by an ardent supporter who paid the filing fee. The canvass of the state board also shows there was a falling off In the Socialist party vote. Two years ago, when Mr. Coblentz ran as the party's candidate for Governor, he received 3127 more votes than he did at the gen eral election. Total Vole Iuremscs. For Governor, taking the total vote cast for all candidates, there was an Increase in the vote at the last general election over the vote cast at the gen eral election two years ago. The total In 1912 was . 105,495, and In 1914 was 107,913. Totals for Governor procured from the canvassing board, which will ktand without change, show an increase in Republican. Democratic and Prohibition votes and a decrease in the Progressive and Socialist votes. Governor Haines received 5291 more votes at the election than he did at the 1912 election, but was defeated. Governor-elect Alexander, Democrat, has a proportionately greater Increase, for he received 13,626 more votes than James IL Hawley, Democrat, candidate for Governor, received two years ago. Hugh E. McElroy, Progressive candidate for Governor, lost about as many votes as Mr. Alexander gained. The total vote cast for all candidates for Governor at the last general elec tion, as compared to the vote cast at the 1912 general election, follows: 1I4. John M. Haines.

(Special.) The statewide prohibition law ap proved by the voters at the recent elec tion does not operate to repeal the local option law until January L 1916, Attorney-General W. V. Tanner ruled in an official opinion rendered the Spokane County Prosecutor. The effect of the opinion Is that cities and towns which voted "wet," like Waverly, in Spokane County, will re main "wet" until January 1, 1916, when statewide prohibition becomes effect ive, and this regardless of whether the county in which they are located voted "dry" on the prohibition bill, aa did Spokane County. On the other band, cities like Van couver, which voted "dry," will become so in January, 1916, a year In advance of the rest of the state, regardless of whether the counties voted "wet" or "dry."
